So Yours Truly was featured in “A Shop Near You” article in the Summer Edition of Quilter’s Connection Magazine and how flattering it has been I must say a huge “Thank You” to Heather and Tricia for contacting me and writing such a great article:)
Janome Update & Draw Closing (147)
As many of you now about my sorted experience with Janome. This post however to to update you and give a HUGE thanks to Jim Findlay of Linda’s Quilt Shoppe in Kelowna, BC for stepping in and making things happen. I haven’t heard back from Janome on any of my email or phone called but Jim has contact and replied back to every single contact point I’ve made, thanks so much Jim. Here’s my 1st Janome going back to Kelowna to be swapped out for this brand new machine that arrived on Monday…I was without a machine for 1 whole week, YIKES that was rough I must say. I had a chance to setup the machine on Monday night and sewed with it on both Monday and Tuesday night and boy everything about it is working good, the threader works (1st one didn’t) the needle came nice and straight (1st one was bent) and so far so good. I hope this machine proves to be better then the last as my experience with Jim is awesome unlike Janome Corporate and their CEO David Manierka who hasn’t responded to my last two email and wanted to pass me onto someone else…I digress…
Onto brighter and better things. I will still continue to update you on my machine, what I like and dislike about it as I use it more and more. Any feedback you can give or any questions or comments I would love to hear them 🙂 Thanks again for all of the support.
Also don’t forget to vote on Heather’s Giveaway draw will close today!!
Until next week, have a wonderful long weekend full of creativity 🙂

Winner for Quilting Magazine…is Sue, here’s her comment and I’m assuming she’s in the USA so that’s great that she can spread the wording about Quilting in Canada:
Ok following on FB and blogs, signed up for both newsletters, for both Valerie & Heather. and I have told several friends via link to blog.
My husband grew up in Ontario. I grab Canadian quilting magazines when we come up for Thanksgiving, with his family.
Thanks to all of you who took the time to enter, Heather will be in contact with Sue!! Also, I have a great e-Interview coming up with a Canadian pattern designer…yes there will be a great prize also 🙂
